Abstract: A lens array is accommodated inside a positioning member and fixed with adhesive, for example. The lens array is optically connected to a planar optical waveguide (an optical waveguide member). The planar optical waveguide includes a plurality of optical waveguide paths being formed therein, and each of the plurality of the optical waveguide paths is aligned and optically connected to each lens of the lens array and fixed with adhesive, for example. A guide mechanism is provided on a front surface of the positioning member (a surface facing a connection target) for positioning with the connection target. Here, it is preferable that the planar optical waveguide and the lens array are made of glass and the positioning member is made of thermoplastic resin.
